'''Procion''' is a brand of fibre [[reactive dye]]s. They are commonly used in tie dye and other textile crafts. They are [[triazine|dichlorotriazine]] dyes and were originally made by [[Imperial Chemical Industries]]. The brand name is now owned by [[Dystar]], but, since the patent on the dyes has expired, many manufacturers around the world now make them.<ref name=Ullmann>Horst Tappe, Walter Helmling, Peter Mischke, Karl Rebsamen, Uwe Reiher, Werner Russ, Ludwig Schläfer and Petra Vermehren "Reactive Dyes"in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry 2000, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim. {{doi|10.1002/14356007.a22_651}}</ref>
